DUGGAN
Our monthly swear box - despite our numbers -
would exceed the annual revenues
of twenty Googles and a handful of Amazons
without our ever becoming greedy fuckers
and while still giving a fuck about every fucker,
whatever his fucking station.
The fuck I did!
brooks no contradiction.
To tell a friend I fucking love you!
is as glorious and heartfelt a benediction
as any foreign poet ever penned.
Jesus, but I love you!
more profound a verse
than found in any prayerbook.
I'll fucking do you!
a succinct declaration of war.
Jesus fucking Christ!
has more of the divine in it
than liturgy or royal charter,
and it was the Stuttering Christ -
Christ on a Bike -
who drove those fuckers from the temple,
was nailed to a fucking tree,
and fucking Rose Again.
